I was curious if these rims and tires would possibly fit on a 1987 TII stock suspension for now.

Eins Kahn Mesh II 1-Piece rims, 2 Toyo, and 2 Dunlop tires. Here's the specs.

LUG PATTERNS: 4 LUG (4X114.3) & 5 LUG (5X114.3)

FRONT: 17" X 8 OFFSET +35

TOYO TRAMPIO 235/45ZR17 70% TREADS

REAR: 17" X 9 OFFSET +38

DUNLOP FM901 255/40R17 70% TREADS

 

the front wheel will rub ( 17x8 with 35 offset ) I have seen is 215 in front .

 

I doubt they will fit.
If anything, you can run small spacers both front and rear to clear stuff inside.

This is what is on my 90 GXL
Enkie RPM2's
Front: 17x8 +35 offset with 225/45/17
Rear: 17x9 +40 offset with 255/40/17
Attached is my invoice so you can see for yourself im not full of BS

I did install them on my car with stock suspension with NO SPACERS AND WITH NO RUBBING!

 

alright I may give them a shot then... if it comes down to it where can I get some spacers to make them fit?

thanks guys i think im gonna pic them up soon and will get some pics up as well as some info... has anyone done anything of this size before? out of curiosity

 

Xbladr,

Call the guys at Auto R & D (phone number is on the invoice). They got a guy that works there named Rishie. He can hook you up with all the sizing info you need. He is a RX7 owner and he is a member of the RX7 club as well.

I not to sure about your tire size in the front. The 235 might be a little too wide. I do know if you go with a 225 you will be ok! My front rims and tires are right at the edge of the fender. IMO if you go any wider on the tire with that offset on the rim your tire might might be sticking out of the fender just a bit.

 

alright then I may try to roll the fender a little bit as well... Just to get them to squeeze by. The only reason I am considering this is because the guy selling these lives really close and is practically giving them away.

 

I don't think they are going to hit the fender.
I think they are going to hit the shock inside.
Good luck.
